_______ is to Animal as Rind is to ______
-
Husk - Nut
-
Husk - Melon
-
Skin - Melon
-
Skin - Nut
Skin covers an animal (external layer), just as rind covers a melon (external layer). This is an analogy based on external covering relationships. Husk is more fibrous and typically for grains/corn, nut is the seed itself.
To answer this question, we need to understand the relationship between the given words.
In the first part of the analogy, "Rind" is a part of an object that covers or protects it. Similarly, in the second part, we need to find a word that represents a part of an animal that covers or protects it.
Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) Husk - Nut: This option is incorrect because a "Husk" is not a part of an animal. It is the outer covering of a seed or fruit.
Option B) Husk - Melon: This option is incorrect because a "Husk" is not a part of an animal. It is the outer covering of a seed or fruit.
Option C) Skin - Melon: This option is correct because "Skin" is the outer covering of an animal, and "Melon" is a type of fruit that has a rind.
Option D) Skin - Nut: This option is incorrect because a "Nut" does not have a "Skin" like an animal does.
The correct answer is Option C) Skin - Melon. This option is correct because "Skin" is to Animal as "Rind" is to Melon. Both "Skin" and "Rind" represent the outer covering of the respective objects.
